Emperor’s New Clothes is an art project that claims to be a game. It is not a game, it is a collection of blank, stark-white game pieces that could be used to create a game, I suppose. But that is not really the point. The point is the joke.

If you do not get the joke, then I highly recommend that you read the story from which this piece of art is riffing. The story is quite short, and as a piece by Hans Christian Anderson, it is quite well written.

Morbi finibus, nisl a interdum ornare, turpis dolor pharetra lorem, a tempor dolor nibh ac nulla. Duis at magna nibh. In commodo suscipit tellus, fringilla condimentum ligula faucibus a. Vestibulum efficitur non mauris non viverra. Vivamus molestie purus ex. Maecenas cursus ligula et semper dictum. Curabitur sed nulla feugiat, placerat lacus volutpat, eleifend leo. Morbi suscipit metus eu tortor tempus, at fermentum elit tempus. Donec tristique lacus eu tellus mollis pulvinar. Etiam sed maximus nunc, a vestibulum purus. Praesent volutpat nibh non bibendum lacinia.

Vivamus scelerisque metus quis justo aliquam, iaculis interdum arcu dapibus. Proin consectetur, ligula in laoreet facilisis, odio lacus feugiat erat, et varius odio mi ac mi. Vestibulum facilisis, sem at vulputate lobortis, eros nulla cursus est, vitae mollis sem nibh non enim. Donec scelerisque, turpis et cursus aliquet, massa magna dictum magna, vel iaculis felis est vitae neque. Mauris elementum sagittis nunc, sed laoreet lacus scelerisque eu. Curabitur sem lorem, interdum vitae nisl id, malesuada aliquam lorem. Curabitur efficitur enim porta, elementum sem at, aliquam tortor.

This review is also a joke. The idea is to riff off of the art project masquerading as a game in much the same way that game is riffing off of the classic fable. I have included enough ‘invisible’ text here (you know, the review that I am claiming is here but is not) that it will appear that a review is present, all while there is no real review here to read. I, personally, find the use of the Lorem Ipsum text to be quite funny. You might not agree.

Fusce sodales eros eros, in vehicula massa tincidunt at. Quisque quis massa vestibulum, imperdiet metus ac, mattis turpis. Quisque hendrerit lobortis metus non cursus. Mauris id lorem et justo commodo tincidunt sed nec nunc. Sed ullamcorper enim nisi, vitae commodo arcu efficitur eu. Interdum et malesuada fames ac ante ipsum primis in faucibus. Pellentesque auctor eros metus, in tempus turpis faucibus eu. Sed luctus ultrices nulla in mattis. Vestibulum aliquet rutrum nibh vitae luctus. Duis fermentum ipsum vitae tellus posuere, eget interdum orci viverra. Pellentesque elementum metus sed purus egestas, sit amet posuere massa tincidunt. Cras ac porta tortor. Maecenas ultrices enim sed fermentum efficitur.

Conclusion

So, in conclusion, this is a fantastic little game that has a lot to offer. This is true no matter if you are a hard-core simulationist, or a casual family-gamer. There is really no style of play that this game cannot support. Getting yourself a copy of this gem is going to be tough, however, as the publisher no longer carries the game and those that have copies are not generally in the habit of parting with them. That said, the game’s creator is rumored to be looking into the possibility of publishing a new, deluxe edition in the near future.
